Residents

Fewer than 1/4 of New Yorkers have taken advantage of their ability to save money and support the development of renewable energy by choosing their own electricity supply company. CCAs provide another option that requires no effort and leads to better rates and contract terms.

What This Means for You

If you live in a community that chooses to participate in CCA, then you will benefit from this project. The local utility will continue to deliver electricity and serve its customers as it always has. But your electricity supplier will switch to a supplier with the best rates and most favorable terms. Remember, the program only goes forward if it satisfies the criteria set by local elected officials.
